Usually a month before returning to work. But that also depends on ur supply if u got enough surplus, u can consider starting even earlier. It's also an ongoing effort to pump n store from work - work out the maths in the last months and gauge how many packs can u pump at office n latch n use from the fridge to meet baby demands. 6 months when they start solids, their milk intake will drop to abt 400-600. Yes, take out the frozen milk the night before to defrost

Yes. Bm can only be placed in the normal chilled section of the fridge for about 3 days, some websites qoute up to 8 days but i won't take the risk. If the freezer is a seperate compartment of the fridge, u should store in there and can last 6 months. Take note that the bm content changes with baby's age, so u may not want to have too much store otherwise baby will always be drinking a few months' ago milk

thanks for your advice. how long in advance to start storing? to thaw the milk is it put in chiller the night before?

Hi! Yes, breastmilk stored in the freezer will last 3-6 months. If it's only in the refrigerator, it will only last 24 hours, and at room temperature, only 4 hours.

Definitely freezer or deep freezer. Breastmilk can only be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
